A Heart for Community
Connect with the heart and soul of a vibrant community. Whether you're meeting friendly locals, encountering heirloom cultures, engaging with Native peoples, exploring hidden corners, or discovering beloved eateries, let lasting memories begin with warmth, hospitality, and genuine connection.
Journey back in time, traveling by riverboat to discover a cultural landscape through the eyes of the Mandingalbay Yidinji people — the traditional inhabitants of the country that lies just across the water from the city.
Glide across Trinity Inlet past tethered yachts, leaving the city of Cairns behind to enter a stunning mangrove forest and wetlands ecosystem. Your Mandingalbay Yidinji Aboriginal guide introduces you to the physical and cultural landscape, bringing to life Aboriginal legend and lore.
The rainforest-clad mountains in the distance are your destination. Hills Creek is where sea- and freshwater meet and is your venue for a traditional welcome and smoke cleansing ceremony. Take a guided bush walk to discover foods, tools, and medicinal plants.
Notes:
A 5- to 10-minute walk to and from the departure point is required. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
